title: [The breast and the breasts].
abstract: Is the breast taken into the mouth the same as both breasts as seen by the infant? In no way does taking the breast into the mouth exclude a certain erotic pleasure for both parties as has been shown by several studies that try to claim that the breast is no longer significant merely as a so-called "partial" object. This is what the iconography in Roman and Christian charity confirms.
